Why so many moon launch failures?

 from an NPR story:

"When you have unlimited funds like they did during at the Apollo days, yes, you can do incredible things," Intuitive Machines vice president of space systems Trent Martin said at a press conference on Tuesday. "Now, can we find a way to do it for a lower cost, where there is a marketplace that is not driven solely by government funds?"


     Uh, sorry Mr. Martin, the Apollo program did NOT have "unlimited funds". HERE'S a rundown from those years. 

     And by the way, how much of your moon landing effort benefits from all of those Apollo mission lessons?
